Abstract：
:Prolactin (PRL) is known to exert neuroprotective effects against excitotoxic damage in the hippocampus of female rats, both in vitro and in vivo. It is still unknown whether this effect can be seen in the male hippocampus and intracellular signaling mediating such action. To assess this, adult male CD-1 mice were subjected to excitotoxic damage with kainic acid (KA; i.c.v.), after a) no manipulation (control group), b) treatment with saline, and c) treatment with PRL (8 μg of PRL/100 μl of saline s.c.). Treatments consisted of one daily injection of the mentioned dosage for seven consecutive days until the day of the excitotoxic lesion. Neurodegeneration (Fluoro-Jade C), neuronal survival (NeuN) and astrogliosis (GFAP) markers were identified with immunohistochemistry in the CA1, CA3 and CA4 areas of the dorsal hippocampus, as well as PRL-related protein levels by Western blot in the whole hippocampus 48 h after excitotoxicity. Anatomical measurements revealed a preferential protective effect of PRL against excitotoxic damage in the CA3 hippocampal subfield, with lower levels of cell death and neurodegeneration, compared to controls. In CA4, the results were not conclusive, and no damage was observed in CA1 after KA administration. PRL treatment provoked an upregulation of active Akt, a well-known cell survival pathway, after KA administration. PRL also caused downregulation of active MAPK, independently of the excitotoxic damage. The present results indicate a neuroprotective role for PRL preferentially located in the CA3 area of the hippocampus of male mice, possibly mediated by Akt-related survival mechanisms.
